    Read Explanation:

    E-governance offers numerous advantages, including improved service delivery to citizens, reduced operational costs for government agencies through efficiency gains, and enhanced public participation by providing platforms for citizen engagement and access to information. Crucially, e-governance is a key tool for *increasing* transparency in government operations, not decreasing it. By making information accessible online and streamlining processes, e-governance helps to reduce corruption and build public trust. Therefore, a decrease in transparency is contrary to the fundamental goals and benefits of e-governance.
